I like key point summaries of books. Sometimes a summary is all I need, and other times it motivates me to read the book. 3-stars because Blinkist is using AI for some summaries: I find these very hard to listen to, they interfere with my ability to focus on the content because the phrasing + lack of emotion in the voice make it hard for me to focus on the content. At a minimum, it should be transparent about which summaries are AI voices and which are human so we can choose the format.

Hi Nancy, Thanks for your feedback. We do use AI for select titles (not all of them), as it allows us to produce even more content for you each week. But we’ll continue to use our human narrators as well. We always appreciate hearing our users' opinions: We passed on your feedback to our Content Team for consideration. All the best, Team Bli...

The content is good and it's very useful to preview books when deciding whether to purchase. However, the app is a bit aggravating. For example, it's hard to highlight a particular passage that you want to remember. Sometimes it works, sometimes it decides to jump to a seemingly arbitrary location and highlight everything.

I wish there were different payment options. I would be willing to pay $10/month, rather than one large yearly sum. Offering a subscription plan could make this information more accessible for people with lower incomes. Unless you only care about money. Which makes sense, otherwise you would actually tell people they're paying to see AI-generated ads. :(

Hi there, Thanks for the feedback. We’ll pass your message along to our Product Team. In the meantime, you can use our free Basic plan - with this you can read and/or listen to one pre-selected title a day - and make sure to keep an eye on our newsletter & social media accounts to see what discounts we have on offer. All the best, Team Blinkist
